Our mission

Be a unifying and enriching force in our community by delighting audiences with profound a cappella choral music performed at the highest level.

Provide a forum for world-class musicians to practice their art in an ensemble setting.

Ensure the future of choral music in society through educational outreach, offering free admission to students and teachers of music, supporting the work of charities that further music education, and inspiring the next generation of professional choral artists.

We accomplish this mission by performing live music with a small professional choral chamber ensemble of mixed voices in intimate settings, primarily a cappella. We form concert programs with a unifying theme that helps reinforce the intent of the composers and meaning of the texts to communicate truth about the human condition.

What we believe

Live music performance is a life-giving and enriching force for good, for both audiences and singers. Music, like all art, has the ability to convey emotions and truths about the human condition which cannot otherwise be communicated. Further, live ensemble performance in particular is a profoundly unifying act, as it creates communities in daily life for both performers and audience members. For those who are religious, it can bring us closer to God through oneness and love. For those of us who aren’t religious, live music performance can be a profound act of collaboration with fellow men and women in the pursuit of beauty and truth.

The human voice is the only living instrument and is distinctively powerful in its ability to communicate because it comes from within us.

There is a vast body of a cappella choral repertoire that is underperformed that can connect deeply with a modern audience.

Like our kindred spirits in the “slow food” movement who oppose the industrialization of the food chain and its adverse effect on the health of both body and community, we believe that digitization and mass-production of music can rob communities of life-giving enrichment. Perhaps we are first and foremost believers in “slow music”… a healing “slow food” for the ears and soul that we believe every community needs.

Ultimately, the responsibility for proving the value and relevance of the music we love falls on musicians—it is our charge to be entrepreneurs, advocates, and ambassadors for our art.
